That is the index of the popup item that was selected, not the text of the item itself. To get that you need to get the contents and index it with the value you got

selectedItem = get(handles.txtmonths1,'Value'); % Get index of selection.
contents = get(handles.txtmonths1,'String'); % Get all the items
Month1 = contents{selectedItem}; % Extract the one item that was selected
