Rob's advice is sound. Since you live in N.J. you can avoid putting the
seeds in the fridge and just store them in a chilly part of your house.
Avoid letting them freeze---you just want a few months of moist chilly
conditions. I used to take my fall seeds and store them in the
fridge (in moist pots). Now I just pot them immediately and put them
in the greenhouse. They get cold treatment over the winter, and some
germinate early giving me plants sooner.

I think this is a little ambiguous. The point is, *do not* freeze the
seeds. The only seed I have ever found it's good to freeze are very
cold environment plants. For example, _D.linearis_.

can't sting you.
