This sales catalogue was developed by Carl Axel Nobelius to market the variety of nursery stock he had for sale. It was printed by D. W. Paterson Co, a printing firm based in Melbourne, and then distributed widely both interstate and overseas. This particular copy was owned by Gus Ryberg, past Nobelius Heritage Park curator between 1983 and 2000. Gus donated this issue to the Museum, where it is enjoyed as part of a larger set of illustrated sales catalogues. This example is one of the 16 such illustrated sales catalogues in the Emerald Museum collection. They date between 1898 and 1939 (1898, 1903, 1906 x2, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1913, 1918, 1922, 1926, 1928, 1929 x2, 1931, 1933 and 1935). This issue was chosen because it illustrates the nursery sales at the height of its success, just prior to WWI, and is one of the few examples with the tear-away order form and return envelope intact. Other identified examples of Nobelius Nursery illustrated sales catalogues are held at the National Library of Australia (1936 issue), the State Library of Victoria (1934 issue) and the Latrobe University Library (1898 issue). The existence of another 1913 catalogue has yet to be identified in a public collection. Other nursery collections also contain sales catalogues of their own.The sales catalogue is of historic, artistic and scientific (research and horticultural) significance. It was produced and distributed by Carl Axel Nobelius of Nobelius Nursery, contributing to understandings of how Nobelius’ client networks were expanded and maintained by promotional activities. The catalogue also demonstrates the integrity and reliability of Nobelius as a distributor who actively engaged with his clients, evidenced by an open letter within the catalogue, which states “…if I make a mistake I will replace the planting”. The catalogue therefore contributes to understandings of how the Nursery gained its success.The light green catalogue cover features the same image on its front and back, comprising a botanical illustration of a blossoming fruit tree branch. The title and descriptive detail comprises the following text running along the top: ‘CATALOGUE OF FRUIT TREES 1913’, with further smaller, detailed text in the middle, followed by ‘C A NOBELIUS’ printed along the bottom. All text on the cover is in a red/pink font. The catalogue contains 68 pages of black and white text, as well as colour and black & white image plates. The catalogue opens with a tear-away order form and return envelope, a ‘General Remarks’ section written as an ‘open letter’ to clients by Nobelius, and then in its remaining pages, listings of the different varieties of stock available for sale over that calendar year.)emerald, victoria, australia, nurseries (plants), catalogues, nobelius nursery, gembrook nurseries, carl axel nobelius

This book was bought in 1912 from D. W. Paterson Co., a printing firm based in Melbourne, and was used between 1913 and 1916 by Carl Axel Nobelius to hand record Nobelius Nursery stock sales to clients in Victoria, interstate and overseas. There are hundreds of clients listed in this book. The following summary of names and places is indicative of the client range in this volume - Mr Hackett, Nursery, Adelaide South Australia; Mrs C J Weedon & Co, Launceston Tasmania; Mr Pickstone, Cape of G. Hope South Africa; Kerr & Barnett Nursery, Christchurch New Zealand; Director State Gardens, Gwalior India; Lasscock Nurseryman, Locklies South Australia; Ms Beisley Nursery, Freemantle WA; Mr Buckle, Wetherson Queensland; Ms Law Somner & Co, Melbourne Victoria; Mrs Braithwaite, Leeton New South Wales.This book holds historic, social and scientific (research and horticultural) significance. It is associated with Carl Axel Nobelius, a Swedish immigrant who was an important influence on the development of the nursery industry of Australia. Nobelius Nursery, the business Carl established in 1886, is also historically important for being the largest nursery in the southern hemisphere during its peak, just prior to World War I (WWI). It contributes to understandings of Nobelius Nursery and Carl Axel in particular, by illustrating the exceptionally diverse and consistent client base he had built up over 20 years and the impact this had on the nursery industry through his large-scale and diverse operations. It also embodies the social identity of the Dandenong region as a place known characteristically for plant growing and other agricultural purposes.This hard cover Day Book has a cover bound in worn black leather and its sides in tan suede. A multi-coloured, marbled pattern decorates the width of the pages of the book’s exterior. The book contains 802 pages, with entries starting in 1913 and concluding in 1916. The inside cover has the book maker’s sticker noting ‘D. W. PATERSON CO.’, and hand written detail ‘No. Stock, Date 16/10/1912’.
