Our Roots
On August 18, 1910, fifteen American retail florists agreed to exchange
orders for out-of-town deliveries. Originally called "Florists'
Telegraph Delivery", FTD was the world's first flowers-by-wire
service. Fifty-five years later, FTD expanded to include international
transactions. The company was renamed "Florists Transworld Delivery" to
reflect its growing worldwide presence. In 1914, FTD adopted the classic figure of Mercury as its official
logo.
Mercury Network
The "Floral Information Superhighway", the Mercury Network
is the premier electronic network used by all major wire services in
the floriculture industry to process wire orders and messages. It processes
approximately 15 million orders and messages annually.
