Hal Kohn looking over her beautiful dahlia garden at the Kohn’s Morningside nursery near the city. You know the Kohns hold open house out there every Sunday afternoon, but never being able to get out at that time we enjoyed a week day visit when only a few other admirers were around. The dahlias of numerous varieties are postively beautiful. The garden is arranged attractively and marked tags tell the varieties.
