Have a look at the PBS wiki:

I never got the hang of the scarifying technique, but various people 
recommend it.

Otherwise it can be a long road, with just a few out of a given batch of 
seed germinating each Winter. Maybe the advice is don't give up. I used 
the zip lock bag method so keeping seed for many years was practical.
