The USDA has developed this Hardiness Zone Map and it has just been revised in
the past couple of years by checking with gardeners and nurserymen as to what

much hot weather and some things require certain cole temperatures to bloom-
tulips have to be refrigerated to bloom in the south. Z 2 -50 to -40, A3 -40
