pomegranite seeds

I bought a pomegranite and was wondering if anyone has had any
experience growing a plant from the seed? I have a dwarf tree
already, but the fruit are miniscule. This shop one is like a cricket
ball, not a pingpong ball.
Googling, one site said to remove the pulp from a pomegranate seed,
let dry for a day, put in moist potting soil and keep moist, and
expect germination within 1-3 weeks. OTOH, my seed-starting book says
of a dwarf variety not to cover the seeds because they need light to
germinate and specifics a germination time of 20-28 days. Pomegranates
have heaps of seeds. I'd try both methods.
However, another note says plants from seed "may" not breed true. This
is truly a case of YYMV. :-)
