He and his wife Bertha built a small greenhouse behind the house on Pomeroy Terrance in Northampton. He soon out grew this half-acre and five years later, 1934, purchased 16-acres of land in Whately, built a
large greenhouse and opened the design room in which we work today. James LaSalle Jr.(Jim) joined his father in 1949 at the age of 21 and 63 years later he is still working a full week and loving it. His wife Ann worked along side of him while they raised 3 children. They added greenhouses in '50, '52, and '55. Jim and Ann took over the business in 1957 and incorporated in 1971. Bill LaSalle served in the army before returning to help his father for six years. John LaSalle started with the business 1979. John LaSalle now works alongside of his father, who is "semi-retired" (that's what he calls it). At LaSalle Florists we have been growing and selling fresh cut flowers and plants for over 75 years. Our mission is to have the best flowers available to our customers at a reasonable price. Presently, we grow freesia, lilies and snapdragons in our greenhouses plus dahlias, ornithogoluim and a wide variety of summer cut flowers in our fields. Bedding plants in the spring and summer fill the greenhouses. During the Christmas and Easter seasons we furnish a variety of plants. We choose crops based on our environmental conditions and what may not be available in wholesale markets. Over the years we have grown carnations, chrysanthemums, gladiolas, freesia, tulips, daffodils, and a host of minor crops. The LaSalles
