Richard,

Don't blame Territorial for leaving out the details!  I did that. 
Territorial's catalog discusses germination and gives some pretty
thorough cultural directions for all the seed they sell.  I'm the one
that cut out that part and recommended the website instead, as the
catalog is there.  (Although it wouldn't come up for me yesterday...)
