1 to 19 in a Honeycomb

Can you place the numbers 1 through 19 in the honeycomb shown below so that there is a difference of at least 4 between any adjacent cells?

    There are five columns of hexagons in the figure, you could give the numbers arranged by columns, like:

    1, 8, 16

    7, 15, 3, 11

    14, 2, 10, 18, 6

    9, 17, 5, 13

    4, 12, 19
