Germination tricks and tips

[Appaloosa909]

I have been trying to germinate Sara's Galapogos seeds from Dr. Carolyn. I only need one plant so I read her instructions and planted 4 seeds along with my 80 other varieties. 75 came up normally on my heat mats, 4 of the "loosers" are older seeds from other sources.
I soaked paper towels with peroxide and put the 5 varieties in baggies (This time 5 Sara seeds) and 2 of the others kinds started to sprout and the other 3(one being Sara) looked swollen so I ripped the paper towel and planted.... the 2 sprouted ones came up.

What next?

Does anyone have another "full proof" method to sprout difficult seeds? I have about 6-10 Sara seeds left.

Thanks so much.
