Growing from seeds

i just bought 100 chinese elm seeds and i really dont have a clue what im doing. Ive read things that say sit the seed in water for 24 hours and stratify (put in the fridge?) for 90 days. Ive also read that i should sow the seed in autumn so it would have time to germinate before spring. As for actually sowing the seed... how deep should i put it in the soil (what type of soil should i use) and how far away from the other seeds should it be placed? and (if i get seedlings) i read in a book that u acutally cut the roots off and then replace the seedling into another pot. as for watering i hear that putting camomile (sp?) tea in a spray bottle and spraying it ever second day is enought water for the plant and protects against damping off. I dont know what information i should trust. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
