How do you germinate Magnolia seed? Is there any special method?

http://www.magnoliasociety.org/care_docs/sow_seeds.html

From that I gather they need stratification before germination and am I to
assume those instructions are for all Magnolia species including the Chinese
ones.
The one I collected seed from was M sargentiana robusta. much too big for my
garden but I'd like to give it a go.
