OT-PLANTS: Crocus and misc. Spring Bulbs

Hope this subject tag is ok and please feel free to respond to me at

I have some crocus and tulip bulbs that I haven't planted yet. Do they
all need to be chilled for a specific length of time? Seems like I read
one time that there are certain bulbs that do not need to be pre cooled
or chilled? I'm not particular if they are forced early, I just want to
plant them in pots and put them in a cool dark(?) spot for a while and
then bring them into the sun room to finish. It's the cooling period I
can't seem to verify. The bulb company sales girl was not especially
helpful. Sounds like some of you listers are still planting outside? Our
ground is frozen down a couple of inches in my garden area. No snow cover
and usually none dependable so not sure that would be an option. Any
suggestions or links I could try?

Thanks very much.
