	Thrift Phlox
		When plants are spaced as separate clumps, rather than in a solid swath, they need other spring blooming or evergreen neighbors to avoid having brilliant spots look lonely in an otherwise spring-bare bed.
		Each plant spreads into a 1 to 3-foot wide mat, retaining a 2 to 3 inch height, which rises to 6 inches tall when in bloom.
		Shear back stems of plants by one-third to halfway, every two to three years, after spring bloom to promote vigorous new growths and to keep the ratio of roots to top growth in good proportion.

		Merkt's status as the most senior employee, the elected ``plant representative'', and member of the employee steering committee of employees (which did not discuss topics such as job security and work assignments) are irrelevant to the issue of coercive inquiry into union activities.

		Therefore, the omission of the retirement thrift plan should indicate that the omission in the master agreement was specific and intentional; and that it is no longer a subject appropriate for mandatory bargaining because it has already been bargained out.
