I live in Montana. The majority of the bulbs for fall planting arrived on October 21. I ordered a large number of bulbs and worked solidly the next two days after they arrived. I worked into the evening and was thoroughly chilled. Then the temperatures dropped to 35° with snow coming in and lasting for for as far as the National Weather Service will post. I will never order from Breck's again. Part of the order still has not arrived. Now I am going to have to find refrigerator space to be able to store these for another year. This is a very big inconvenience. I am not a happy customer.
