In 1910, FTD was founded as Florists’ Telegraph Delivery which aimed to help people send flowers remotely on the same day. In that year, FTD began as a non-profit cooperation with 15 florists who agreed to exchange their out of town orders via telegraph. The original name of it was Florists’ Telegraph Delivery Association. Then, in 1914, they selected the Roman messenger god, Mercury, as their logo. It symbolizes the speed of the FTD service that they have.
