There is a place in town that grows tulips in greenhouse. they sell cut flowers to many places that make flower arrangements. They get their bulbs from Holland and store them in a cooler. Every week they bring out a new batch of bulbs, plant them in very little dirt, only bottoms are covered. They have to use bulbs of a certain size to get tall enough tulips, 14-16 inches I think. They also sell cut tulips that may be seconds, around 12 inches tall.
The rest they pitch. They grow tulips up until about mother's day.
So to answer your question. It really doesn't matter when you plant them. If the ground is cold, they will remain dormant. If you store them in a cool place, plant them in the spring. I would plant them now, that way they will be early bloomers.
BYW this past spring we went to the tulip place and they gave us the shorter tulips. We planted about 400 of them on a sandy hill side in gravel pit. We call it tulip hill. Be posting pics this spring if they blooms.
We planted hundreds of surprise lilies on another hill side, surprise hill
Planted hundreds of rose of Sharon's on another hill side, rose hill.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
