        On the issue for forcing arums into growth, several years ago, I
purchased dormant stored Arum italicum tubers.  Upon planting, they refused
to sprout until 1 year had passed.  These had been stored dry in a warehouse
at 50F Night/70F day temps.  When I planted them in late winter, nothing
happened until the following fall.  

        I would like to try again, but would prefer if they would actually
sprout when planted...now.  Should I give them a cold treatment or what.  As
they aren't daffodils, little research seems to exist.
