Seeking Watermelon Berry Seed Propagation Advice

I have some berries collected from Watermelon Berry (Streptopus
amplexifolius) plants in Alaska, and I want to try propagation from the
seeds.  After cleaning the flesh from the seeds, I assume that a period of
cold stratification will be required.  Would it be as simple as planting
the seeds this fall in my zone 5 garden, or do I need to do anything else,
e.g., acid treatment?  Also, from where the seeds were collected, I know
that Watermelon Berry grows in shade, but does anyone know if they are
fussy about soil pH?
