Smith & Hawken <http://www.smithandhawken.com/> used to be an upscale brand (thus Cockburn's epithet), but they now seem to be vending through Target.

An article Hawken wrote after getting teargassed in Seattle suggested that he might have rethought things a bit, but I haven't read anything by him since.
