	Boston's Arnold Arboretum--Reading 1
		The Arnold Arboretum, among the "jewels" of Boston's Emerald Necklace, was the first arboretum in the United States.

		Arnold had bequeathed $100,000 upon his death in 1868 for study and research in either agriculture (raising crops and livestock) or horticulture (raising flowers, fruits, vegetables, or ornamental plants).
