1, 1, 1
1, 3, 7, 10, 10
1, 6, 25, 75, 175, 280, 280

Maple

b:= proc(n) option remember; expand(`if`(n=0, 1, add(
       b(n-j)*binomial(n-1, j-1), j=1..min(3, n))*x))
    end:
T:= (n, k)-> coeff(b(k), x, n):
seq(seq(T(n, k), k=n..3*n), n=0..6);  # Alois P. Heinz, May 31 2018

Mathematica

b[n_] := b[n] = Expand[If[n == 0, 1, Sum[b[n - j]*Binomial[n - 1, j - 1], {j, 1, Min[3, n]}]*x]];
T[n_, k_] := Coefficient[b[k], x, n];
Table[T[n, k], {n, 0, 6}, { k, n, 3n}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 10 2018, after Alois P. Heinz *)
