month

For the default invariant DateTimeFormatInfo, this method returns a string from the GregorianCalendar:

month	Return Value
1	"Jan"
2	"Feb"
3	"Mar"
4	"Apr"
5	"May"
6	"Jun"
7	"Jul"
8	"Aug"
9	"Sep"
10	"Oct"
11	"Nov"
12	"Dec"
13	""

Calendar objects can accommodate calendars with 13 months. For 12-month calendars, the empty string is always returned as the name of the 13th month.
