Refrigerator wouldn't hurt. Don't seal in a plastic bag where they can't
breathe though or they may rot. A cool dry spot is ideal, and if you can put
them out on a piece of screening for good air circulation, even better. Then
plant in September in the ground. Now keep in mind that these have been
commercially forced, so don't be too disappointed if they don't bloom the
first year. It is quite possible these are Tete-a-Tete, which have two
florets on many of their stems. I have planted out potted bulbs of these many
times and they do recover and blooms and multiply.
Tulips and hyacinths do not recover as well as daffodils from the forcing and
may disappoint planted out in the garden.
