These account books provide an insight into the early operations of the Gembrook Nurseries including the range of their clients.These books are significant because they are among the earliest records of the Gembrook Nurseries. The Nurseries, at their height in 1914, were considered to be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere and influenced the development of parks, streetscapes, private and public gardens throughout Australia. They also exported trees to several other countries.Two consecutively dated Account Books compiled by the Gembrook Nurseries (aka Nobelius Nurseries). Both are hard-cover volumes which are divided into two parts: account holders who are listed on A-Z tabbed pages followed by account records. One volume was used from 12 November 1893 to 15 June 1902. The second volume was used from 9 December 1902 to 6 June 1922.carl axel nobelius, gembrook nurseries, c. a. nobelius & sons, account books, 1890s, 1900s

In 1925, Reality 11nd won the Royal Melbourne Show in the division for pony stallions measuring between 13 and 14 hands. This photograph commemorates and celebrates then victory of the Emerald-born horse. Reality 11nd was owned and bred by William Horswood (1875-1938), an Emerald resident. William was well-connected to the local community and to other local families; his sister, Anna, was married to Conrad Percival Nobelius.This photograph documents the victory of a horse bred in Emerald in the 1925 Royal Melbourne Show. It is significant as evidence of local involvement and success in horsebreeding and horseracing.A framed black and white photograph of a horse equipped for racing. The horse stands on grass with out-of-focus people and structures in the background. The rectangular wooden frame is closest to the viewer on its outer edge, where it is decorated with an ornate design, but curves closer to the level of the photograph on the inner edge where a band of metal separates the wood from the white space. The photograph is surrounded by white space, with writing positioned directly beneath the photograph. The rear of the frame is blank, with wires allowing for its suspension from a hook.Beneath photograph: "Reality 11nd / 1st & Champion Royal Show 1925 / Owned & Bred by W.
