Possible 1933 Date for "All Nine Yards"

[Baker, John M.]

        Someone has posted on the Wikipedia discussion page for "The
whole nine yards":

        "Google books shows this in Another gardener's bed-book (1933
Lippincott) by Richardson Little Wright:

        By the time I have followed all nine yards of suggestions, I
expect Meconopsis will be as common around this place as Calendulas or
Crab- grass."


        I see it, in snippet format, on Google Books too.  Does anyone
have hard copy access to see if this is actually a relevant citation?
