The Explore view is really the best way to answer questions like this. 
I use it every day.

If you look at <URL: 
http://www.freebase.com/tools/explore/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000544767

/dataworld/gardening_hint/replaced_by link.  That latter is what is left 
behind after a merge, and which the client view knows to automatically 
follow.  If you are writing GUID-based tools with the API, you need to 
look for those links.
